Another real nice poss het pied hatchling

jgjulander Aug 23, 2004 10:40 AM

This girl was a pleasant surprise. She hatched out Saturday and has a ton of black with nice gold spots. The picture has a bit of a glare, and doesn't really do her justice. Anyone know how to eliminate the glare caused by a flash in snake photography? Are there any sites with tips for herp photography?
Thanks,

Sorry, I'm not much of a photographer. I have noticed more of that glare before the first shed so maybe she'll be easier to photo later.

Congratulations. Does her pattern with the broad dark areas take after either parent?

She may get it from the female, at least the black part, but the nice gold may come from the male. Last years babies from the same female are really nice as well, and are from a different male. Here are some pics of the above snakes:
This picture is the het pied male sire.

She's got some nice gold spotting as well.
